Violence against women is a HUGE problem. What can YOU do about it if you’re not Bono or Ban Ki-moon?

Meet four changemakers who—inspired by Breakthrough—stood up and said NO to violence against women and girls in their families, communities, and beyond.

- Sir Patrick Stewart was inspired to share his story to launch Breakthrough’s global call to challenge violence against women.- Dean Obeidallah was moved by Breakthrough to create his comedy show “DUDES AGAINST VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN.”- Hari was inspired by a Breakthrough training to launch his radio show. - Shilpi wanted to stay in school, and a Breakthrough training emboldened Shilpi’s principal to stand up for her.

Ring the Bell: One million men. One million promises calls on men worldwide to promise to take concrete action to end violence against women.

Men and women together have responded with outrage to recent dramatic acts of violence from Delhi to Cairo to Steubenville. We know that effective laws, courts, and cops are essential -- but they are not enough. We need individual and community action to challenge the habits and norms that perpetuate violence.

Together with our partners in South Africa, Brazil, Malaysia, and more, we will secure one million promises in one year, starting March 8, 2013 (International Women's Day). With men as leaders and partners, we can build a world in which women are safe — and in which all of us live freely, fully, and without fear.
